Not Boring (to me) Breakfasts

I need to find a new way of introducing breakfast as it's basically the same every day.

BLUEBERRIES, DORSET MUESLI AND SKIM MILK!!!!

I had an apple mid morning to tie me over to lunch.

Lunch was Sashimi lunch. YUMMY! A sort of boring salad, but the mystery dressing makes it oh so good!

Afternoon snack was a navel orange. Are they in season? They are so good right now.

After work I went to the gym. Usual 45 on the elliptical, and Core Control class. I came home, ate a few of http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/ babies, then made some dinner.
It was fajita night. I had 2 small ww tortillas, with fried beef strips, red and yellow pepper, onion, mushroom, lots of salsa mixed with chili pepper and cumin. Topped with more salsa, nf sour cream, cheddar and hot sauce! YUMMY! I filled these up too full and ended up eating them with a knife and fork rather than as a wrap.


And that's a wrap!

Glorious Day!

It's sunny outside! What a glorious day! It's about -2, but the sun makes it feel like 10 after long weeks of chilly-chilly-chillyness! For breakfast I decided to mix it up and had Dorset muesli, almond milk and blueberries. ;)

Mid morning, this sunny, happy apple came into my life.

I was stewing all morning, wanting to call the Sheppard, but not risking it, maybe he's finally asleep......

Lunch was super as well. A PC ww thin bun, with hummus, sprouts, some lettuce I stole from the salad (with red peppers and sprouts) and a couple pieces of smoked turkey.

In the afternoon, I ate the other half of yesterdays Luna bar. I also had a banana staring at me, but the chocolate was oh-so-much-more tempting.

I headed home right after work, skipping the gym again, but got my workout helping the Sheppard. I did a good 3 hours of work for him, and my shoulders are feeling it today! SORE!, but in a good way. We're over 300 lambs now, probably closer to 400. It looks great out there. The puppies have still not opened their eyes! I'm willing them to open, I ask them nicely everyday.

Dinner was omelette's and toast. I had a 2 egg omelet with spinach, red pepper, mushrooms and cheddar. Toast was 1 piece of Dempsters Healthy Way multi grain. It's ok bread, but I prefer the Dempsters Ancient Grains.

It's almost Friday! HOORAY!! Which means a weekend of farm work for me, and that's ok.

That's why they call it the "Family Farm".

Day 3

Yesterday the greatest thing happened at our house - our dog Jazz had 6 AMAZING little puppies! Beautiful. I haven't picked them up yet, I like to wait until they are a few days old and mamma feels more comfortable. She's resting nicely in the warm hay loft and she seems so proud. In about a week their eyes will open and then it's time to play! Here's a great shot of puppies that were born last spring, they are 3.5 weeks in this pic.My breakfasts tend to be similar each day. I'll eat something until I exhaust it, eat something else until I exhaust it, then move back to the previous breakfast. The one thing that does not usually change are berries. Blueberries mostly. I try to eat locally, especially in the summer, but berries are something I do not live without.

Today's breakfast - Dorset muesli, skim milk, blueberries.

I buy coffee in the morning maybe once a week from Country Style, but most days I make my own and bring along my Tim Horton's travel mug. I'm not so much of Tim's fan, but this mug works great with the easy sliding lid.

Mid morning snack was canned pineapple. It's not something I eat usually but we were out of fruit, other than berries, and I found this little can in the cupboard.

Then, before lunch I had a sweet tooth, so I had just a bite of this carrot cake Cliff bar. I find the carrot cake flavour to be ok, but they were on sale last week so I thought I'd pick up a few.

Lunch was a beautiful salad - mixed greens, shaved carrot, cherry tomatoes, sprouts, left over chicken and Renees Japanese Ginger dressing. On the side (dipped in dressing on the plate) I had 1/2 ww tortilla.

During my lunch break I hit up the grocery store. Glad I did because around 3pm this apple was needed! I'm a Royal Gala or Ambrosia apple fan.

Dinner was camera shy - I totally forget to take photos! When I got home I noticed some broccoli getting a little limp in the fridge. I mixed it with some chicken stock, water, bay leaf and an onion and let it simmer for about 30 min. Then added some thyme and pepper, a bit of soft tofu, and blended it up with the immersion blender to make a great looking soup! With the soup we had gourmet grilled cheese. WW bread, real cheddar, spinach and some chicken breast baked with balsamic vinegar - delish! I was feeling munchi, and ate a good handful of chocolate chips in the evening.

Here are some not so great shots of mamma dog with her pups. She's pretty protective right now, in a few days I'll be able to get some better shots. Good night!
